I've had my best results with hobbyist (RC car or aeroplane type) spray
enamel.

Barring that, that awful krylon stuff seems to work all right. One
important thing to do is to buff the surface with steel wool, to give the
paint something to stick to, and then clean it with isopropyl alcohol to
remove grease and fingerprints and dust.

My grasp on the english language is slipping.. maybe I should go home and
take a nap.
